    If \[ac\ne 0\] and \[\alpha ,\beta \] are the roots of the equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0,\]then the quadratic equation with \[1/\alpha \] and \[1/\beta \] as its root is

    A)  \[{{x}^{2}}/a+x/b+1/c=0\]

    B)  \[c{{x}^{2}}+bx+a=0\]            

    C)  \[b{{x}^{2}}+cx+a=0\]

    D)  \[a{{x}^{2}}+cx+b=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given  \[\alpha ,\beta \] are the roots of the equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0.\] \[\therefore \]  \[\alpha +\beta =-\frac{b}{a}\]  and  \[\alpha \beta =\frac{c}{a}\] Sum of the given roots \[=\frac{1}{\alpha }+\frac{1}{\beta }=\frac{\alpha +\beta }{\alpha \beta }\] \[=-\frac{b}{a}\times \frac{a}{c}=-\frac{b}{c}\] and product of the given roots \[=\frac{1}{\alpha }.\frac{1}{\beta }=\frac{a}{c}\] \[\therefore \]  Required equations is \[{{x}^{2}}-\] (sum of roots) \[x+\] product of roots = 0 \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{2}}+\frac{b}{c}x+\frac{a}{c}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]                         \[c{{x}^{2}}+bx+a=0\]
